who is one of the shrewdest miners
in the State, was satisfied that if
the property was worked system
atically it could be made to pay
handsomely, and he set a force of
men at work under Mr.. Murphy,
one Of his old employees, and it was
only few days before he commenced
to open up ore in the old workings
and making shipments to Denver
which returned a handsome figure.
Men were also set to work sorting
over the old dun and several car
loads Of ore was shipped which
gave returns Of over 5000, per ton.
AS work progressed in the mine
large bodies Of mineral were dis
closed in the different places where
men were set to work which more
than surprised the manager, and
last week ono Of the largest strikes
which has been made in the State
was opened up, and tons Of ore
are now being sacked that is litter
ally full Of native, wire and ruby
silver. Large chunks of solid ore
showing wire silver on every side,
were brought down to Gothic and
piled in front of the Gothic House
rs a sample of what is being taken
out, and it is needless to say that it
moro than surprised every body;
while work is going steadily ahead
upon the mine, and from four to
five tons of the rich truck is being
sacked daily, and bottles full Of
wire silver ara being saved which
break loose from the ore as it is
knocked down. From the present
showing Of the mine it bids fair to
out-strip any other property in the
United States, which is certainly
good news for everyone interested
in the Elk mountains or the State.
Mr.. w. S. Baker has the credit OF
opening up the property in its pres
ent shape, and is worthy of all the
good luck that may befall him, as
it is certain to add new life to min
ing in these parts. Arrangements
are now being made to start a new
tunnel from the basin and addition
al miners added to the force.

Give Them n Chance!

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not on
lY the large air-passages, but the
thousands of little tubes and cavi-
ties leading from them.
When these are clogged and
choked with matter which ought
not to be there, your lungs cannot
half do their work. And what they
do, they cannot do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, crtop, pneu-
monia, catarrh, consump ion or any
Of the family of throat and nose and
head and lung distinctions, all are
bad. All aught to be got rid Of.
There is Just one way to get rid Of
them. That is to take Boschee's
German Syrup. which any druggist
will sell you for rs cents a bottle:
Even if erything else has failed
you, you may depend upon this for
certain.

Rich Strike on the Sylyanitc.

The Sylvanite mine, which has
always been noted for its splendid
samples of wire and native silver,
is coming to the front in great shape
under the able management Of w.
S. Baker, who took hold of it within
the last two months, and at a time
when the citizens OF Gothic had al-
most given up all hopes that work
would be resumed upon it for the
next year OF so, But Mr.. Baker,

Railroad Mentions.

The Midland track is reported as
being laid down Frying Pan on the
western division. On the eastern
division the track is reported within
ten miles Of Leadville. 1t is said
by parties who profess to know
that the cars can, and will be run
ming to the mouth Of Frying Pan by
September Is.
The Rio Grande has about 500
feet of the Glenwood tunnel to fin
ish before it can lay its track to
Glenwood Springs. 1t may reach
that point in advance Of the Mid
land, but it is hardely possible for
it to come up the Roaring Fork val
ley ahead of the Midland Aspen
Times.
The president of the Union Pa
cifc railroad has been investigating
the condition Of its branches,ean
has determined to do away with the
South Park to Gurnison. 1t is
claimed that this business entailed
loss to the main road of $125, 600
yearly. SO Presidents Potter and
| Moffat have made an arrangement
whereby the South Park gives its
business over to ths, Denver and
Rio Grande railroad. The South
Park hereafter will run only a
freight train to st. Elmo, and The
stages on this line and to Glenwood
will to-day make their last trip.
Tha Western line takes portion of
the profits Of the Carson line in con-
sideration Of their withdrawal

The Penny Hop.

A brief description of the dance
at Mr.. Dan Penny's at the Hot
Springs might not be amiss. Crys-
tai river was only fairly represented,
Messrs. Boughton, Fish and Tays
Showed up from Crystal; Miss AL
ice Melton, Mrs. Andy johnson and
Mrs Paul Blount, from Prospect,
also Messrs Usher and Cline; and
d. E. Fredricks, from Coal Basin;
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson and Messrs.
Perham and LaSalle, from Thomp-
son Greek. The lower country
failed to appear at the eleventh
hour" and the only ones from be-
low the springs present were the
Misses Mobely and Geo. Turner:
Mr.. and Mrs. Lou Horoney, from
jennings ranch, and from around
the springs we noticed Mr.. and Mrs
J. w. Phillips, Mr.. and Mrs. AL
Hodges ard Ed Gift, which, I be-
lieve includes all. The music, fur
nished.by Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson, was
all that could be desired. Mrs.
Andy johnson and Miss Alice Pen
ny gave us some fine vocal and in
strumental music that was well re-
ceived. Part of the G. r. Glee
Club sang a few selections as well
which were up to the standard,
The fine supper and breakfast we
had should not be overlooked. One
gent made the remark that it was
the first square meal he had had in
six months. Think everyone done
justice to the good things which
speaks volumes for Mrs. and Miss
Penny as cooks; Miss Penny's cake
| q forgot the mention of it) was i'm
mense. 1t was daybrake before
dancing ceased. Rumors Of another
dance on the River shortly were in
the air. The large crowd that was
expected did not come, probably
the threatening looks of the wealth
er scared them out. But there
was plenty, and everyone went to
have good time and, 1 guess, were
not disappointed.
Well ! think I've said about all

When Lark Young Was on his way
down the road n.the canon, he came
across the noted white wood-chuck,
which has been seen upon several
occasions for several years past,
and having his rifle i'll hand he
managed to shoot the fellow. 1t
has not been generally credited
that there was such a thing as
a white wood chuck, but it can be
shown up and is white as snow.
Mr.. Young intends having it stuffed
by taxidermist which will be quite
a curiosity to naturalists.

The dancing season was opened
by q pleasant hop at Mrs. Dan
Penny's last Wednesday evening,
which was well attended by the

will be another at Mrs. Lou Horo-

time is expected. The boys and
girls have all signified their inten-
ton of being present.

Capt. Mcintyre who is interested
in mining property in this section,
has arrived in Gunnison, but does
not feel able to take the trip up tp
these parts this season. He has

his partner come over this way and
open up their claims.
